San Francisco Climate Week is a community-powered event series that aims to bring together the climate community to connect, collaborate, and take action on climate change. SF Climate Week will feature a wide variety of events organized to educate, inspire, and engage attendees. The lead organizer of SF Climate Week is the platform Climatebase.

Back for its fourth year, the US Climate Action Summit unites key leaders in business, politics and the third-sector to drive US climate momentum.

The Leaders’ Forum, the flagship event of the week hosted by Climate Group, brings together over 200 climate leaders for an agenda specially curated to facilitate big conversations on stage while allowing leaders to drill into the detail during closed-door workshops and roundtables.

The goal is to create an action-led platform that drives measurable outcomes on climate policy and business action, with attendees at the heart of the agenda.

In this special event organized in collaboration with Orbitas, international stakeholders will convene to discuss the financial risks and emerging opportunities associated with current efforts to transition towards a low-carbon future. The focus will be on Brazil, particularly its key agricultural sectors—cattle and soy—and their impacts on global value chains.

Attendees will have the opportunity to explore new analyses on the prospects of success in Brazil’s soy and cattle sectors under various climate scenarios, and to hear insights from producers, traders, buyers, and investors working together to catalyze transformation.

Live Portuguese translation will be provided during the event.

The Ministers of Environment and the Ministers of Health of member countries will meet to provide overall guidance and strategic direction and to enhance coordination and cooperation among countries and partner agencies in addressing identified environment and health priorities.
